Solheim will participate in the launch of Klimapark2469

Erik Solheim has earlier engaged himself in the Klimapark project, and visited the Youth Climate Camp summer 2009. Together with young people from Norway, Poland, Lithuania and Canada, the Minister signed the first measurements in the area where the Klimapark is planned to be established.

Here are his words:

"Noone else will change the world, but dedicated young people! Please continue - and let this basic scientific observations be continued through the years to come! 14.08.2009 Erik Solheim"

The Minister signalized that he wished to create a dialogue about the future of the Klimapark2469.

Klimapark2469 and archaeological finds

The next milestone is launching the results from the preliminary project for the Klimapark. The Ministry of the Environment of Norway will be represented on the event both by the Minister and his political secretary. The official launch of the Klimapark2469 will take place in Forskningsparken (Research Park) on Blindern in Oslo.

Besides the presentation of all the plans for Klimapark2469, Erik Solheim will also get a Scientific and Development Report on archaeological finds and ice patches. The numerous finds on Juvplateau near Galdhøpiggen require a special national program that will provide security to the artifacts.
